• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, that is what we do. Mr. Ngare’s posting to London was made public and was carried by both electronic and print media in this country. As to the other stations that I have mentioned, you could see that I was careful enough not to mention names of the nominees to go to these stations because the formal appointment will be made public in the normal manner that my learned senior is proposing. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is asking me to be truly truthful. Mr. Dennis Awori, I do believe I know him a little more than the hon. Member asking the question. He was, yes--- view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think that we are competing as to who knew Dennis Awori first. I said that I think I know him a little better than the hon. Member. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Dennis Awori was the Managing Director of Toyota Kenya prior to his appointment to Japan. But now he is not the MD of Toyota Kenya, but he is the President of Toyota Africa, resident in Kenya. That is not the same as being the MD of Toyota Kenya. I can assure that Mr. Dennis Awori left service with, first, an exemplary record, secondly, at his own volition, and thirdly, he informed me before he left. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: It is not true that the residence of the High Commissioner in London is in deplorable condition. It is not. I also do know that as a ministry, with allocation of funds and approval from this august House, we have a programme of keeping our mission properties well maintained and well renovated where there is need. When there is need, we will do that in London as well. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not true. I have never sought to exchange an appointment with any Minister colleague; more importantly, in terms of my Ministry, any ambassador or high commissioner appointed, I am not the appointing authority. So, it would be fallacious for me to enter any pact with anybody to appoint where I cannot appoint. There is only one appointing authority for ambassadors and high commissioners, and that is the President and not the Minister. view
• 18 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if my very good friend, the Chairman of the Coast Parliamentary Group or the Governor of Coast Province, listened to me very well--- He is my very good friend and I have visited his constituency several times. I said that after his recall he asked for three months. We got a medical report that he needed medical attention. He has no capacity to refuse to leave the residence, station or disobey a legitimate order for him to leave his job. So, the question of refusal does not arise. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to oppose what my Learned Senior, hon. Olago, is urging you to do. We know that the matter of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) is very important, but we also know that, equally important, is the matter of the Mau and the environment in this country. Indeed, we are not just addressing the Mau. You will hear some of us talk about many catchment areas that have been destroyed through the reckless management of the environment and our forests in this country. It is a matter of peoples’ livelihoods. I ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion and the report. view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I want to plead with my colleagues that the issue of the Mau Complex is not about tribes--- view
